So what is Noracora?
Noracora is an overseas based online retailer that appears to be scamming consumers on a reoccurring basis.

- Dresses
- Tops

For instance, Noracora on TrustPilot.com, reflected a 1 out of 5 star rank out of 317 reviews.
Shared below are a few of the most recent customer reviews we found:
“I placed an order over a month before I am scheduled to leave for a trip. I received emails that the items were shipped, and tried to use the tracking number to track my packages. The tracking number didn’t work. Finally, I received a valid tracking number and a message that the package could not be delivered. I checked the address, and it was correct, so I don’t know why I didn’t receive my packages. There is NO way I will receive my items before my trip. I will NEVER buy from Noracora again!”
“I made an order before checking the reviews out – which I always do – wish I would have this time! I immediately canceled my order through email, 5 or 6 times. Asked for refund to my Mastercard and I have heard NOTHING!!! Should have known better when there is NO PHONE NUMBER!!! What are you people trying to hide? Give me my money back and give it to me NOW.”
“Placed an order with them. Sent several emails requesting an update have had no response. Do not shop with them.”
TrustPilot also issued the following statement on their page on May 9th, 2019.
Contacting Noracora
Noracora only provides an email address to reach out to them.
Since the registered office address of their company shell, BTREE Limited, is a fake location consumers are solely left to email Noracora with the hopes of getting a response.
Their email address on record on site is service@noracora.com.
Many customers have sent countless emails to Noracora, however, and have yet to get any sort of response.
Noracora.com Complaints
Negative reviews and complaints pretty much sum up the entirety of the Noracora operation.
Shared below are 3 of the most relevant complaints we found regarding Noracora at SiteJabber.
“It’s very hard to discover the real reviews because the people behind this “company” keep slamming good reviews. But when you read and see the silly names of the reviewer it is evident they are false. And scroll down to discover the bad ones. Yikes!”
“Same sad experience as so many on here. Contacted them 9 days after placing order and received a response the next day that part of it had shipped, with a tracking number which was connected to nothing. Since then, no response to my multiple inquiries. Now in the process of trying to get a refund from PayPal. Terrible company, do not order!”
“2 orders, not fulfilled. Got thank you note—but no fulfillment yet. They said “on the way” and then said my order was cancelled. I did no such thing. Awaiting customer service answers. EGAD. SCAM?”

Noracora Scam Conclusion
Noracora does an exceptional job as coming across as a legitimate online retailer that offers a wide selection of trendy and desirable consumer clothing.
Claiming to work with name brands and offering boutique designer quality clothing, Noracora has been called out on their bluff by countless consumers for their cheap clothing material and inability to fulfill simple customer orders.
Using BTREE Limited as a company shell, the real company behind this Noracora according to WHOIS directories would be Chicv International Holding Limited.
Why put your trust and time with an online retailer that reflects hundreds of negative reviews across the web while reflecting 2 of the most concerning red flags when it comes to online retailers.
The first being the inability to effectively communicate and reply to customers while the last being Noracora’s strong inability to deliver purchased goods as advertised.
Outcome: Noracora is a SCAM!
Blacklisted Site: Noracora.com
We invite you to share any insight, experiences or feedback you may have!
So did I ….smt! My only question is why is still active on google ads and other search engines? Shouldn’t there be something done about this?
I couldn’t agree with you more!! Why is this being allowed?
roselinlin.com
Another site that is possibly affiliated with NoraCora is “Roselinlin”. This boutique sells the same clothing.
And Zoesweet is another one. Order took forever to arrive and it was all polyester crap. The “linen” shorts were so thin you can see through both layers of fabric when held up to the light. I ordered large because I like to plan on some shrinkage, but these look like they were made for a child!
Same experience. Got order confirmation by email. Then got shipping notice by email with INACTIVE tracking number. I too am scammed.
Ordered dress from Noracora. It came and was way too small. I returned to address on
package, and it reached that address. Now they are saying I could not return to that address. I asked them for a refund or to return dress to me so I could send it where they say I need to or for them to forward it where it needs to go or they could send me a larger size. I have not received a reply email that responded to which option they could allow. DO NOT ORDER From this
company. They have my $ and they have the returned dress and are making no attempt to respond to my requests.
I agree completely with the assertion on this site that noracora is a total scam site. They have listed an inventory of over 4,000 pieces, not including sizes, which is clearly impossible. I saw an ad on Instagram where they are frequently seen as well as Facebook, and ordered a pair of shoes. The charge came up on my card as ChicV International which I feel is the source of the multiple scam sites. I didn’t receive any email after the charge, no receipt, invoice or shipping info. After two weeks I went to the bank and filed a fraud charge. I then received an invoice and shipping info from a site called Sara Dream. I finally received a pair of shoes of such poor quality but returning them to an address completely in Chinese seems impossible so I guess that’s it. Where is the Federal Trade Commission on this issue? Obviously ChicV International is scamming billions mostly from women and why does Facebook allow them so much ad space?
They ship frequently from california. Refuse unopened package which can have part of tracking number so check. Have post office return unopened to return address on package from usa and call to find out ship date if cancelled before that. They use fed ex smart post so post ofc puts mailbox. Dont open and dont pay as is crap or wrong or send nothing. Report to usa fbi as is federal crime to use usa postal service for fradulent tactics.. They use china return center, but company operates out of uk and california. Return to usa address on package with a tracking number is about 12 dollars and get date delivered to return address in usa and give your card company. The same 2 directors every few years change all company names and continue to rob people. Fbi is investigating mail fraud so report to fbi. Keep all emails and every day send one to them til pkg arrives, immediately refuse and send back, and then email refused acceptance due to cancellation, wrong or damaged items etc. Sign up with uspost office for text alerts and updates and will get delivered package text from them to return usa address on package.is uk,usa not china operation.
I ordered a linen shirt. The tracking number wasn’t valid. When I finally received the shirt 25 days later it was not anything like the one I ordered. No response when I emailed them. PayPal is investigating the transaction and I hope to get my money back. Do not order from them.
Did you get your money back from PayPal? I’m going through this at the moment. PayPal want me to send the clothes back to Naracora… China , then they say I’ll get a refund. But I’m not sure that will happen. I’m searching for ANYONE who has gotten a refund but can not find o n e person.
You will receive robot emails, some offering you a 15% refund…and if you have more than 2 items, they will only accept 2 items in return. So, at 2 items, at a 15% refund of their cost will not cover the cost of return shipping, and they count on you not returning. They get to keep your money, and you get nothing.
Noracora is a sweatshop in China. I am in the apparel industry for 29 years – it’s a sweat shop and dishonest people stay away. It’s also crap quality
Thank you for the work you do. I almost purchased $200 worth of clothes from NoraCora.
I stupidly did not look at reviews before ordering $100 worth of this crap. What a ripoff. Just lost my hard earned money.
I found the exact same clothes on NoraCora on Wish. I had to look a CPL times, but the model is wearing the exact same jewelry.
Is Wish legit?
Even though most of heir stuff is crap also, At least with Wish they refund you the cost of the item
